Look, I’ll be honest with you: I don’t know how this is going to go. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to be a fly on the wall.

That said, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to put yourself out there, too. By asking for a dance, you’re communicating “I’m here to have fun”. Try to say that to as many people as you can and you’ll have a blast.

Also, Salsa is so dang easy to do the basic step. 90% of the Latin dances I’ve been to have been just doing the basic step for the whole song and looking at people around me for inspiration of moves to try.

You’re gonna do great.

This one is underrated. That shit is like college-level difficult

Bruh, I don’t really.

I learn what I need for whatever project I’m working on and if someone mentions some new tool as part of potential future project, I google that.

I’m probably a bad example tho. I have no hustle.

I actually think it’s just bandwagoning by a bunch of cowards.

We saw this same phenomenon early last year too: Facebook laid off a bunch of employees, then Apple announced the same, then Microsoft, then Google, then Salesforce, then the infamous Twitter layoffs.

I think big tech is so sensitive to negative press that they all just wait and lay off folks at the same time so no single company takes all the bad press.

It doesn’t even have to be Illuminati-level coordination, either. All it takes is for some exec at Tech Company B to see that Tech Company A is firing people. Then Tech Company B decides to clean house too. The cascade is just a bunch of morons deciding to hop on the “let’s fuck over our employees to help our balance sheet” train.

Working with my SO to start budgeting each month. We now have a system in place that works for us and a habit of getting out in front of expenses.

Budgeting helped us see that increasing your income is far more powerful than reducing spending, so we’re focused on spending to gain skills and increase our top line right now.

Great question: we use coasters religiously on it, so I haven’t found out yet.

That said, I bet condensation from a glass fogs it up pretty good :( Feels great to the touch, tho.

This is what I like:

1. Sand to at least 220
2. Apply 1x coat of spray shellac and let it sit 30 mins
3. Gently scuff surface w/ sandpaper and wipe clean
4. repeat steps 2 & 3 two more times
5. Apply a wax (paste wax is fine) and burnish in with double-zero steel wool
6. Let the wax sit a few minutes then wipe it off
7. repeat steps 5 and 6 until you’ve got the finish you want

Ends up with a very soft-to-the-touch finish that’s matte and not shiny.

I did this on a coffee table that gets heavy use and I’ll only probably need to reapply wax once a year. A shelf should need zero maintenance.

I stayed up later than usual last night, therefore ensuring that I’m less productive today AND killing any chances I had of seeing midnight.
